        And how will you achieve these objectives?
        Who are you prepared to go into power with if necessary?
        What will you do with your current company if elected? I would expect that any TD working for me did not have other sidelines distracting him – and a company which you own is exactly one of these things…

        Alan, would you rather have an ex-teacher running the country? Or better yet an unemployed person – definitely no distractions guaranteed?
